Abstract
Th research studies the relationship of trade and wage inequality in upper-middle-income countries. Specifically, the research questions how trade between upper-middle-income countries and both developed and lower-income countries affect the wage inequality. We use Heckscher-Ohlin model and Stolper-Samuelson theorems to study the relationship between trade and factor prices. We use panel data models on fifteen countries from 1975-1966 and the results suggest that we do not have the same results as explained by Heckscher-Ohlin-Samuelson theorem.
